<p>Here is an example of a table created from a database query result. The
table class will automatically generate the headings based on the table
names (or you can set your own headings using the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">set_heading()</span></tt>
method described in the class reference below).</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">library</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;table&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>

<p>Here is an example showing how you might create a table using discrete
